Requirements

MySQL v5.5 or greater

.NET Framework v4.5.1

Git (If using the GitVersionTask Nuget Package)

Installation - Windows

1) Download the Release.zip from the latest release in https://github.com/uncled1023/Combot/releases and extract the files to a directory of your choice.
2) Edit Combot.Servers.json to configure the bot for the correct servers, channels, owner information, and MySQL database.
3) If the database has not been created yet, import Database.sql from the master branch into the database.
4) Run Combot-Interface.exe

Installation - Linux

This is currently untested and not supported. If you would like to venture into the realm of unreliability and errors, you can try running the Console Interface in Mono.

Building

To fully maximise the potential of Combot’s ease of development, Visual Studios 13 should be installed. If you have Visual Studios installed, you can add Module Template.zip to your project templates to easily create new modules. If you do not want to use a template, you can copy an existing module and work from there.

If you do not have git installed on your machine, or do not want to add the git versioning, then go to the Nuget Package Manager within Visual Studios and Uninstall the GitVersionTask package.
